Enterprise Vault Migration Single server to Cluster

 

Currently we have Single Enterprise Vault 9.0 running on Windows Server 2003 32-bit with Shared Storage, Indexing , Vault Store all located on SAN.

Note Exchange and SQL is already running with microsoft cluster.

Now we want to migrate Enterprise Vault 9 to 10.0 with Microsoft Cluster and Server 2008R2. So how can we do that, Can any one please give any solution for this.

  • No, if you read the technote on converting you will see the first thing it says is "Enterprise Vault should already be configured in a non-clustered configuration, and it must not already be part of a cluster.".

    You need to move EV to a 64 bit machine and then follow the steps in the technote to convert it to the cluster.

  • Can i do one thing

    without doing any thing to running EV.

    I make new EV Server with MS Cluster and do all new configuration and then in last i copy my index and archive data to new assign storage connected to new EV Server.

  • Move EV first, test make sure it is all working then covert to a cluster.  That way if you are having problems you are limiting the number of things that could go wrong. 

    Don't get in a hurry and rush the process as that can lead to steps missed and mistakes made.

  • As you said first i need to move my EV to 64bit Server using server migration wizard thn 

    i move tht to Microsoft Cluster. 

    Or i install Microsoft cluster on new EV machine then fresh install EV 10 and import the setting from server migration wizard. can i dot that.
